Adventures in Agriculture: Week 0 Distribution
by Eric Richard
For reference, I will post a blog entry each week outlining what food and how much food we got in our distribution.
This is mostly to help out future people who are trying to get a feel for how much food they would get (since this was one of the biggest questions we had going into the CSA).
Obviously, the actual size of the distributions in any given season is going to be highly variable. Even the types of foods available are going to change some from season to season. But, again, hopefully this gives folks some general sense for what to expect. As we went into the CSA, we had no idea what to expect, so hopefully this is more useful than going in blind.
In general, I will try to limit this to one post a week so folks who aren’t interested in the CSA information aren’t overwhelmed by this. However, this week, I will do two since I need to catch up.
The week before the season actually began, we worked at the farm. And at the end, we were told that we could pick up an early distribution.
It contained:
- 1 quart of strawberries (pick-your-own)
- 1 lb. of broccoli
